18 gallons of fuel and 70 of water here. I think EVERY non-Landfall C&C is short on tankage and I have the "extra" water tank too.

My LF38 came stock with 105 gals of water, 35 of fuel, and a 35 gal holding tank. Nothing like the CSY44 (with 400 gals of water and 200 of fuel...), but much more than most C&C's. Seems like you have to work pretty hard to get tankage up to spec for longer distance cruising.

I like a lot of what he did on Saralane, but most I wouldn't bother with on my boat. I like to windows the way they are, and cutting open the transom and bridgedeck is more of a project than I want to tackle; it would take too much out of my sailing time. The installation of the holding atnk behind the head with a gravity feed to empty is the one thing that I can see doing. I also like the way he painted the interior. I like the Herreshoff look. And it lightens up the interior. I would add dorades and a tent over the forehatch. I might convert the forward ports to opening, and, as Dave mentioned, install a few fans. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine
